Hi, I printed a shipping label with paypal (small packet international)

However, I chose the wrong planned drop off date.

I planned to ship it on Friday, but chose the planned drop off date on the label as Saturday.

Can I still ship my package on Friday? Will this cause a problem at the post office?

thank you

Just put it in a mailbox. nobody cares except some nitpicker at the counter perhaps.

If they do then glare back and say "well put a current date stamp on it....(please)".

By the way the PO doesn't care if you send it before the postmark date, it makes them look one day faster!

That date has nothing to do with nothing. I have no idea why they have that "feature".

Paypal's Planned Drop-off Date has nothing to do with the post office. It is put to use only if you want an email message sent to the Buyer/Recipient. See the two optional areas just below the address.

Paypal (right below the planned drop-off date) says:

Note: Email message to recipient will be sent on this date; date not associated with on-time guarantee, only for email notification.
